“The progressive #ACLU is trying to establish a precedent that would strike a huge blow against workers’ rights across the country and make union organizing much more difficult.”

Why Is the ACLU Undermining Labor Rights?

Omg my apartment is overrun with not one, but like 3 large families of raccoons. There are so many.

They keep eating all my food and pooping on everything. They’re just everywhere and one bit me when I tried luring them outside with cheese. I’m out of ideas. Uggg this sucks.

EDIT: Ok reply guys I don’t need you telling me to notify the apartment manager or to call animal control or to get a rabies shot. I’m just venting jeez

Hearing libs talk about how we can just talk to people on the opposite side and make them see our humanity is so depressing.

then hearing that same lib say "I am applying for EU citizenship because it's so dangerous here" just basically seals it that they don't actually care about "reaching over the aisle" or improving anything, and want other people to do thier dirty work for them & that they are wealthy and able enough to leave the country if the uncomfortable reality of violence happens.

Have I got #3GoodThings to share today? Well, yes and no:

1. I have a job interview!
2. It's on Friday!
3. Did I mention I have a job interview, and it's on Friday??????

Perhaps that's cheating, but that's how excited I am. And the company is one that I'm genuinely interested in and excited by. This is fantastic, and I just had to share!!!

Camembert is an endangered species! It relies on a mold that had lost the ability to reproduce sexually... and now, thanks to inbreeding, this mold has also lost the ability to reproduce using spores. Roquefort is also in trouble, but for Camembert it's worse:

"The world over, this other symbol of French gastronomy is inoculated exclusively with one single strain of Penicillium camemberti, a white mutant that was selected for Brie cheeses in 1898 and Camemberts in 1902.

The problem is that ever since then the strain has been replicated by vegetative propagation only. Until the 1950s, Camemberts still had grey, green or in some cases orange-tinged moulds on their surface. But the industry was not fond of these colours, considering them unappealing, and staked everything on the albino strain of P. camemberti, which is completely white and moreover has a silky texture. This is how Camembert acquired its now-characteristic pure white rind.

Year after year, generation after generation, the albino strain of P. camemberti, which was already incapable of sexual reproduction, lost its ability to produce asexual spores. As a result it is now very difficult for the entire industry to obtain enough P. camemberti spores to inoculate their production of the famous Norman cheese.

Worse still, while the Roquefort PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) standard retains a degree of microbial biodiversity, the PDO specifications for Camembert require farmers and other producers to use P. camemberti exclusively."

What to do about it? Switch to eating American cheese, or Velveeta? Read on....

The rental price is set at $19.89, so it is cute and overpriced at the same time. 🥹

I just listened to episode 957 of This Week in Tech :twit: where @leo mentioned needing to lay people off. Both @jasonhowell and @ant_pruitt being let go is so sad. Canceled shows are being announced next week. I’ve been listening to TWiT and MacBreak Weekly since I was in high school, and been a paid member of their club since it began. The fact that they are struggling to exceed 2% membership from their 700k monthly listeners honestly isn’t surprising, people just skip ads.

And now I am locked out of my new apartment; my key isn't working.

This just keeps getting worse.
